Protocols of Zion Movie Review 2005

Filmmaker Levin structures his documentary around "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion," a 19th-century screed that purports to reveal a Jewish plan to rule the world. Although exposed as a forgery (written by aides to the Russian czar to foment anti-Semitism), extremists of all persuasions still use the material for their own agendas. Levin examines recent examples of anti-Semitic propaganda, including the ridiculous belief that Jews were behind 9/11, and quizzes a wide variety of interviewees from skinheads to Holocaust survivors.
